Learning CSS

[Joel~]

Could anybody tell me how and where to learn CSS? I really need to learn it!

Thanks

I hate to recommend it but for you: the W3C would be the best place to start. Although you can learn it perfectly from Intellisense in Visual Studio 2005.

Thanks. What's the W3C? And why do you hate to recommend it?

 

[Lord Kalthorn]

Haha; its a Standards Board They push for Standards that aren't those Microsoft have in place. Nobody likes Standards like that. Personally I'd have Microsoft set the standards, they do after all own the Browser Market - if they say it should look like that it should look like that.

Oh right, thanks. Well, I'll take a look but I'm not good at learning things this way. But still, it will be interested to try.

Do you know any programming languages?

Check out csszengarden.com for what can be accomplished with css, that site is abit more intermediate. And standard compliant coding is the way to go so don't get sloppy and lazy and just specifically do it in IE.

By the way lord kalthorn standards were put in place because of all the crazy tags and weird shit that all the browser people thought would be a good idea. If it wasn't for standards you would have to code a website for every browser there was, and thats no fun.

True. I can only just manage to do basic coding so that would really annoy me. But thanks.
